I guess most people signed up within the first day or so - if you want to be a moderator then you are going to be pretty active and there is no point in hanging about
I do hope that I win, but if I don't , well at least those of us with less than 20k who will (likely) get past the nomination stage are something to point at to say 'it can be done' :)
If nothing else, I seem to have found a few friends that I didn't realize I had.
Will someone with the minimum rep needed to enter actually get elected? Probably not, but it's no excuse for not trying.
It depends on how many people vote because they want to support a specific moderator, and how many vote because they saw the banner about elections and want to involve themselves in some way (without knowing anything about any of the candidates)
@ChrisF I remember when I used to work in the UK remotely on machines in the US - aside from the horrible lag the machines would sometimes hang on reboot on the bios screen, so if you accidentally rebooted in the morning you had to wait until 3-4pm until someone woke up and rebooted your machine for you
@LoïcWolff Yes and flag all his posts as spam and one of them for moderator attention.
@Kragen Ouch
I think there might be some serious connectivity issues at work. I've not had a reply to an e-mail and my colleagues have gone offline on Skype. I think I need to ring up to see what the score is
@LoïcWolff Thats what I usually do on StackOverflow when its blatant spamming (which it seems to be in this case) - I just replace the spam links with [link removed] or similar.
Hi guys, i'm trying my hands on coding a skin for blogspot.com i basically got everything else done except for one issue which is a part of my design.
Beside the title of the blog, i've design it such that there will be an image floating right next to the title of the blog. That would be easy i...
Can't stop replaying some of the stuff he said (and did) and thinking about that alluded 'threat'
The major clue was the comment (something to the order of) "So I'll start my own 4chan where users have to register!"
I can't conceive someone being that articulate yet equally clueless.
And this isn't the first time I've had to deal with 4chan.
That usually happens right about the time the routers get hot enough to cook eggs and a managed client is wondering why their site is slow or inaccessible.
@Moshe, I've yet to extract a probable chat schedule from Jeff. That's probably because he knows people are trying to extract a probable chat scheduule.
@Moshe i think a sparing use of color would add a bit, but the clean black and white feel is kinda nice change of pace from the in your face color explosion everything elese has
@Josh On-topic at SerferFault: beating vassals; getting more productivity out of peasants; trampling the rights of peons. Not allowed: questions about political intrigue or military conquest, except in the context of obtaining your rivals' workforce for yourself.
Man, I just blew through eight flags on the very first page of /review I saw today. We really need to up the count, 10 + rep/1000 isn't even enough to cover the low-hanging fruit, let alone the subtler bad posts.
@TimPost Should you decide not to withdraw, I humbly suggest rewording "Husband & Father of a five year old girl"; even though my brain knows what you mean, that gives me an unpleasant gut reaction that's difficult to completely ignore. (As strange as it sounds, I'm not joking this time.)
I prefer supporting their efforts by telling people the truth about Dianetics and free stress tests, suggesting them to pretend they're psychologists if approached.
@TimStone Well my memory upgrade for my Mac arrived, and suddenly I want to work again. So I've been tied up catching up on three projects due in the next 3 weeks.
Ah, nice. I just finished pushing out a 1.2 release which was...a few weeks...behind schedule, heh. But we got a lot of fixes/new features/performance enhancements packed in there, so I'm sure no one will complain.
I've read somewhere that your registration form has to have some sort of notification about the storing of their info, is this true? If so, where can i find those rules?
@Diago Oh wow, impressive :) I haven't quite gotten the hang of proper time estimation, so sometimes I'm a bit optimistic about setting these dates. That, and then there are some added complexities that come up later on that I didn't know about beforehand...but I'm working on that, heheh.
@TimStone I will admit, my deadlines for projects are normally 2 - 3 months, and I work with a brilliant project manager who actually knows how to manage projects and timelines
@YiJiang I upgraded end of last year from my old MacBook which was a Core 2 Duo. However this is a 3 year upgrade so I took the best I could find and pushed her to her limits. 2 of them are pricey thought
actually that would be a handy view, apply side by sides on a vertical scrolling (loading each div into either the left or right view) for checking all diffs on a quick scan ...
